Jet, the multi-post genius, is at it again and again and again and again and again. I didn't count the first one since that was a normal post, not a multi-post.

Jet, relating to rabbits, do you know, or have you encountered such a fact, whether the yield of rabbit meat per pound of feed exceeds that of chickens? I believe it does.

That should be a no-brainer, as there is a obvious over-abundance of ckickens due their multitude of uses in our current national food farm & distribution methods, as well as a national audience that views chicken as a "staple" dish in every single known cuisine in our melting pot of cultures. Rabbits here are not overtly seen as a food source, and if so, it is somewhere more rural and/or a place with a tastes for "fine dining". Delicacy, I don't think so... sure the bunny's got muscle, but not enough meat from my experience.

But, I'm sure, maybe somewhere in France, or Kurdistan, I don't know, bartering for rabbits may indeed be easier than trying to smuggle chickens.


Is that what you were looking for BadNick? What is another topic on your mind? Would you say you like new music or new cinema more, at this point in your life?

Thanks, but that's not the rabbit info I had in mind. I have a friend who raises rabbits for food and he claims that the yield is quite a bit better than for chickens so I was asking for confirmation about that. Since he's always been a stickler for correct technical details, I tend to believe him until proven otherwise. I'll search for more on that.

As far as "new", I like music, cinema, other art forms that are different, as long as they seem well done to me. It's mostly pretty hard to match the classics. But if some artist does something interesting that pushes the boundaries, I'm less critical of the details as long as it has substantial merit in my mind. It's only lately that I'm able to really start getting back into those things again. Now that my two boys are well into their teens, I seem to have more time to start enjoying such private things again. While they were younger, it seemed that any spare time I had was spent playing with them...which was great, but that changed my agenda for a few years.

Just yesterday I was playing the soundtrack from "The Harder They Come" and my son and his friend were digging the reggae beats and asked what album that was, so I explained that it was the soundtrack from a cult-film that used to play at the artsy film movie houses in this area. But then I had to explain what I meant by "cult film" which didn't seem to register for them.

oh, I mistaken read "yield" as that pertaining to cost, not actual content of meat. sorry. Still, I think a well-bred chicken has more viable meat than a hare, but it all goes to size, health, and actual use of all the meat (the hare has more "limbs" than a chicken, so that, of course, may make the yield bigger, but not everyone has a taste for "rabbit's foot").

cult film -- I'll be slightly amused if wikipedia has an entry, and definition, for you on this.

In my mind, "cult" means low-budget and/or low-"yield" of audience awareness, save for a select few, who view this particular accomplishment as above and beyond the ordinary--"extra-ordinary", if there is such a descriptive phrase.

Fact, there is no chicket meat in Rabbit

wow, i bet jet can even break the space/time continuum

yeah, all I need is a new "g1829" battery for my crummy calculator, and then all bets are off.

Divide by Zero

(you know the sad part about those tiny-ass batteries and our society as a whole? Those batteries cost more than the entire calculator/wristwatch/little flashlight is worth. 7.99??)

so it tastes like chicken?


We're working on an important component that is going into miniature fuel cells that will replace batteries. It's not really too far from commercialization and batteries for various hand-held devices is the top priority. The first major customer seems like it wll be the US military since there is some ridiculous statistic about how many pounds of batteries are allocated to each soldier in the field...so the fuel cell battery packs will replace these.

i just watched Ninja Assassins. pretty funny (B-movie).

I hope everyone had a happy April Fools Day...it's almost over, so relish the last moments. Also chopped onion and mustard the last moments, on a lightly toasted bun.

never liked being fooled, im oddly harsh about it. or at least i think that way

april 2nd? and my dog is a retard. bleh.

and im glad it went by without incedent

not with me. I celebrate April Fools' as if it lasted the entire month, or on occasion, whenever I feel like it.

It's always best, and awkward, to shout April Fools' when it's Thanksgiving, or Bastille Day, any day is prime. I don't do it anymore because I'm quite bored about investing time in things I honestly don't care about, so I pass on my knowledge to not let it be compartmentalized into a single day be a burden to anyone.

Dude, I was dreaming about "Madness" last night.

Give me a sec... let's see if this works:

just (finally) posted this in my visual splendor blog. You wouldn't happen to know the model, would you? (I entitled it 'Mercedes CLR GT')

ahhh, cars...one of my greatest distractions. I'm not sure of the exact model, but it looks a lot like the flying Mercedes:


The Mercedes-Benz CLR was a Le Mans Prototype built by Mercedes-Benz for the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans. It became infamous for spectacular crashes during its only competitive outing.

In April 1999 Mercedes launched the new Mercedes CLR as successor to the FIA GT championship-winning Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR and later CLK LM which would take part in the upcoming Le Mans 24 Hours. With tens of thousands of miles of testing on smooth race tracks, like Homestead and Hockenheimring, Mercedes felt that the car was quick enough to win the race, despite the short time spent on wind tunnel testing.

Three cars were entered, numbered 4, 5, and 6, each driven by a German, a French, and an English speaking driver, to allow efficient international marketing. Mercedes' major competitors, Audi R8R, BMW V12 LMR, Cadillac, Nissan R390 GT1 and Toyota GT-One, each entered two, three, or even four cars, making the 1999 Le Mans one of the toughest ever, particularly when additional competing smaller private teams like Panoz were considered. Only Porsche, the winner of the previous year's race, was missing.

However, Mark Webber's #4 car became airborne at the Indianapolis corner during the Thursday night qualifying session. The car was rebuilt from scratch on Friday, modified for more downforce at the front, and entered in the Saturday morning warm-up. This time, Mark Webber only made it to the hump before the Mulsanne corner when the car backflipped in spectacular fashion, this time caught in mid-air by photographers. Luckily, neither Webber nor anyone else was injured on either occasion.

Despite the second incident and its echoes of the 1955 Le Mans disaster, Norbert Haug decided to go ahead and enter the other two cars in the afternoon, with additional modifications and instructions to the drivers not to follow others cars closely over humps.

Still after over 4 hours, driven at the time by Peter Dumbreck, the #5 CLR chased a Toyota GT-One and became airborne two turns before Indianapolis, somersaulting and landing over the barriers into the trees, all on worldwide live TV. The crowd in the Le Mans grandstands was terrified, seeing the pictures on large screens without hearing any comment for a long time. No injuries were sustained in this incident. The race continued under yellow flag conditions. The #6 CLR, driven by Bernd Schneider, was immediately retired.

Not really too mean
to pretend you don't know me,
or how does that wurkk?

did you say wurkk?

I was just doing
that reference thing I do
& you were too quick.


(unlike Gilligan)

thank you for that since lately it's not often I'm too quick with anything. But what's the hurry, right?

I'm always in a hurry, but still, most of the time late (and slow, and procrastinating).

Is that the personality for the white rabbit or is it not?

also... backtracking a few... (oh, and anybody, did you happen to watch the Modern Marvels special on 70's Tech last night? Blew my mind they were talking about how the "crummy calculator" and the "Speak & Spell" were revolutionary feats of engineering. Yet another coincidence. I think we need a new word for this, as it is happening all too often to me, and I'm picking it up even better now.)


KRAFTWERK - Pocket Calculator [Computer World] (1981)

you youngins might not appreciate these simple things like some older folks would.

Luckily I was adept with the sliderule since there were no calculators when I started in engineering college, or at least not a calculator you could carry around. I recall when they added the square root button to the huge desktop calculator in the engineering lab and that button (and internal capability, of course) cost +$1500

yeah, the pricetag to those things were astronomical.

I'm always a few years behind technology by design (and laziness/unawareness).

So long as you have patience, in a couple of years, the price markdown on the most sophicated of technologies of the day will be brought down some several hundred percents.

you can barely even give a pocket calculator away anymore (that goes the same for my transformers watch, and my pocket calculator watch, both now lost in the abyss, yet still the veritable "bee's knees" when I received it back then for free by some sort of promotion down there at the Montgomery Ward's).

shouldn't the writing be upside down as well?
